- Johan· April 25th, 2025We thougt it was a brilliant tour. Well planned and well executed by our very inspiring guide Biliana. The group worked fine, the bus became a second home.Show more
- Tim· April 22nd, 2025A great fast paced tour of the Balkans with loads of great sights, sounds, smells and experiences for experienced travellers. Biliana is an excellent tour guide and a chance to immerse in the region, learning about the history, culture and history of the region.Show more
- Christopher· April 14th, 2025The tour guide (Biliana) was amazin The Itimerary was 90% as scheduled, and there was a lot of beautiful sights. The hotels was mixed, some of them were really good, some really bad (The one in Trebinje was horrible, in addition to the fact that Trebinje was a waste of time), I would probably have liked less time in Kosovo and more time in the other countries, that being said: Kosovo is cheap. Sarajevo,Dubrovnik and Kotor were the clear highlights of the trip! If you want to visit many Balkan countries, and get to see a lot of places in a short period then this tour is for you.Show more
